A visual testimony, the Cross of Christ

Abstract:

This creative project has explored the combining of multiple paintings and multiple nodes of painting into a coherent and unified whole, directed toward a more complete and truer representation of man, especially the “born again” man. This study employed the unifying and transitional characteristics of various modes of painting, together with a structural format of a three-paneled, folding triptych, with the intent of enlightenment in the area of spiritual “oneness.” This study centered on Jesus Christ as the entrance to spiritual “oneness,” (more appropriately identified as The Kingdom of God, or being born again) and primarily by way of symbolism and the juxtaposition of ideas, modes of painting, and painted panels, sought to reveal that truth.
